A Public Health Alert Has Been Issued for This Iconic Soup Brand—Here's What to Know
Our ultra-cool neighbors started a tradition a few months ago called Soup Sundays, where once a month we get together with friends and share a warm, comforting bowl of soup. It's become an event that we always look forward to, and every time the soup is more delicious than the last.
Even with warmer weather on the horizon, we always look forward to spooning hearty, brothy spoonfuls of black eyed pea soup with collard greens and sausage or beef stew into our bowls and relaxing in the company of what I affectionately like to call framily. Maybe it's the way you can taste the love infused with every bite or just the camaraderie of sharing a meal with loved ones, but it's a tradition I hope never goes away.
😋😋🍳🍔Best of all, each artfully prepared soup or stew is made from scratch, without any extra ingredients that could potentially ruin the dish. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for a recently produced batch of soups that have just been flagged due to contamination with wood pieces from cilantro.
The USDA issued a health alert for 13 frozen soup and bowl products across a variety of brands, including popular favorite, Campbell's. While the affected products haven't been officially recalled, it's worth mentioning that they could be in your fridge or freezer, so it's best to tread with caution.
The lengthy and growing list includes: Campbell's Chicken Tortilla Soup, Campbell's Soup Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, Campbell's Wicked Thai Soup, Health Request Mexican Chicken Tortilla, Life Cuisine Vital Pursuit Southwest Style Taco Bowl, Molly's Kitchen Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, Molly's Kitchen Chicken Chili, Molly's Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Soup, Molly's Kitchen Mexican Chicken Tortilla, Sysco Chicken Tortilla Soup, Verve Spicy Chicken Nacho Soup, Verve Wicked Thai Soup, and Crafted Market Coconut Chicken Thai Style Soup.
It's worth mentioning that some of the brands listed are food service specific brands, however, the others were distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. You can check out a detailed list of label images and lot codes here. Looks like we'll just have to wait until Soup Sunday to get our soup fix in.
